Summary
A Criminal and an Irishman is the story of Pat Nee's life as an Irish immigrant and Southie son, a Marine, a convicted IRA gun smuggler, and a former violent rival and then associate of Whitey Bulger. His narrative transports the listener into the criminal underworld, inside planning and preparation for an armored car heist, inside gang wars and revenge killings. Nee details his evolution from tough street kid to armed robber to dangerous potential killer, and discloses for the first time how he used his underworld connections and know-how as a secret, Boston-based operative for the Irish Republican Army.
For years, Pat smuggled weapons and money from the United States to Ireland - in the bottoms of coffins, behind false panels of vans - leading up to a transatlantic shipment of seven and a half tons of munitions aboard the fishing trawler Valhalla. No other Southie underworld figure can match Pat's reputation for resolve and authenticity.

interesting story, could have done with the accent
interesting story and i flew through it once I started, the readers accents for anyone Irish was a bit annoying including the American Sean Crawley who not surprisingly should sound American. in general though I enjoyed the reader

Amazing story
Finished too early. Surely there’s more to the story or a follow up book. It was an amazing story. Hope there will be more like it on here soon.
